A MAN'S SHOE
IS rather a difficult article for a man to
'buy right in most shoe stores, that is to
get it to fit him and suit him, and wear
him as it should: So many kinds of
shoes are sold that look well at first,
and don't wear as they look, that it
troubles a man to know where to pur
chase his shoes.

Stabbing Affray.
Andrew Anderson, living about
five miles west of town was severely
wounded last Saturday by a knife
in the hands of Wm. Dickinson,
better known as "English Billy."
The two men became involved 1n a
quarrel, the nature ot which neither
arc inclined to divulge, and Dickin
son drew a large pocket kuiic and
began slashing at Anderson. One
blow penetrated the left arm near
the shoulder completely severing
the main artery, another cut was
made on the right shoulder, and the
clothes coyenng Anderson's breast
were cut but the knife did not enter
the flesh at that part.
Dr, Dent was summoned and
rendered the necessary medical aid.
The severing qf the main artery
in the left arm makes a very
dangerous wound, and at this time
the result cannot be determined.
A warrant lor Dickinson's arrest
will probably be issued.
Struck by Lightning.
During the rain storm yesterday
morning about eleven o'clock light
ning struck the residence of James
Flynn, in the Third ward, damag
ing the house and furniture to the
extent of several hundred dollars.
The lightning struck the chimney,
thence entering the house, doing
much damage to furniture and
bulging out one end of the
house. The cook stove was
broken to pieces and a dog lying
asleep nearby was killed. At the
time of the accident Mrs. Flynn
was taking a pan of bread out of
the oven and the six year old
daughter was sitting on the stove
hearth. Fortunately neither was
injured although it was a very
narrow escape tor both. The in
terior of the house caught fire from
the coals in the stoyc but the flames
were almost immediately gotten
under control and very little dam
age resulted from that source.
